I’m happy for her. Anyone who can date someone for 3 years w/o physical contact probably truly loves the person. I hope the relationship lasts.
Call me cynical, but I think this represents the height of ‘punishing’ her family (dad abandoned her at 12, she is not speaking to her mother, plus she set out to find herself after a romantic r/ship meltdown).
I just don’t believe this is coming from a “pure” place. I think the girl is looking for ‘specialness’. That “3-year” courtship was long distance—no doubt her story gave her a certain unique accessory in London to tout. Odds a million to one that it lasts.
IMHO.

Anyone who can date someone for 3 years w/o physical contact probably is as crazy as a loon. But I couldn’t be more thrilled for the happy couple.
